J&J talc - can this cause cancer?

I’ve used this for year under my large bust. Could this cause cancer? I have wart like growths there. Showed them to gp about 25yrs ago. She said just run hard with towel after shower

  • Hello, and thank you for posting.

    There is no evidence to suggest that talc causes breast cancer.

    If you have had these growths for 25 years, and they have been seen by a doctor, it would be unusual if they were cancer. However, if you are newly concerned about them, do talk to your GP.

    We have more information on cancer myths on our causes of cancer pages.

    Take care,

    Sarah.
